i have some thoughts i can't put into words well but the more one decides that like [assorted relatively minor things, interests, reactions] are evils the lines of which cannot be crossed, and the more specific the thoughts and opinions that need to all every single one be in alignment for one to like or just tolerate someone else, the more isolating one's experience is, and lonely, and dimmed, because more and more peope out of everybody else seem threatening, stupid, malicious, or just unworthy of one's respect or any real connection. which is a shame from a lot of standpoints. and i think it's quite easy in a sterile online space to critique things, which isn't bad in and of itself and is sometimes urgent and useful, but can quickly move to 100% condemnation and "cringing" in small social circles over just about anything whatsoever. and sometimes my roommate is like hozier has such fae vibes and it's like fine actually. it's literally totally fine and it isn't that deep at all and there's no harm meant by it.
#i know this is mistaking online for real life disease but online genuinely does influence my outlooks tm on real life and is part of it#in addition to informing some truly silly remarks i've tried to make in person in the past based on incoherent tumblr discourses#villain origin stories#my posts#in short this is a post about last week me & yesterday me awash on the tides of irl vs. many internalized online condescensions#please don't start arguing about hozier on my post#i have no horse in this race and i already know he sings about deep topics with various influences.#thinking about it i do not really think this flavor of comment cancels those things out
